BUILT BY CHILDREN. Chnreti In Wisconsin Owe* ll* Exist ence to the Work und Koonomy of Little One*. For a town to exist 50 years and yet have only one church organization which possesses its own building is strange enough, but when that build ing has been built entirely through the efforts of children and by money which they furnished and solicited, it becomes stranger still. Just such an unusual condition of affairs exists to-day, according to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, in Schofield, a Wisconsin town which will soon cele brate its semi-centennial. The church belongs to the Christian Scientists, and the story of its erection is a most in teresting one. In IS9U Miss Mary E. Graves, a resi dent of i. aofield, organized in her own home a Sunday school composed of 18 boys and girls of the village, ranging in age from 8 to 14 years. For about two years and .a half the school was conducted under the fos tering care of Miss Graves, and in the latter part of 1898 its finances were in such a healthy condition that its mem bers decided to build a church edifice. The surplus in the treasury amount ed to exactly nine dollars, all of which PIER FAMILY, ALL MEMBERS SUPREME COURT BAR. WIIEX, in February of this year, Miss | widow of Col. Pier, of Wisconsin.

With this sum in hand, the youthful members of the Sunday school appoint ed a building committee from their own number and proceeded to carry out their resolution to build a house of worship. In a few days some well wisher of the children donated a site for the church building. A little later an un known admirer sent a check for ten dollars, and on the heels of this con tribution came $25 in cash from an other source. The head of a large lum ber concern in Schofield offered all of (ji|||y 11^ CHURCH BUILT BY CHILDREN. ♦he building material required at nom ina' cost. Just recently the church was com pleted and dedicated. It, is a cozy structure, 20 by 40 feet, finished inside in hardwood and having a floor and pews of the same material, its fur nishings include a handsome reading desk and apparatus for heating and lighting. The seating capacity is 100. On the day after the dedication Treasurer Alfred Glasson, 14 years of age, announced with an air of dignified satisfaction that every obligation of Ibe building committee had been paid, unci that there was a surplus of $2.27 in the treasury. The church organization is thor oughly democratic, the children elect ing their own officers and managing the business affairs of the organization in all its details. r With the exception of Miss Graves, the first reader, the church offices are filled by children. MISS EVELYN LEASE. DeLKlilrr of the I'ainonii Mnrf Ellxt brth, of lvniiNUH Knme, to lie a l'uhlic lii'rturcr. Miss Evelyn Louise is the youngest woman lecturer in the United States. She is the 17-year-ol(l daughter of Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Lease, the famous woman orator. Miss Lease bids fair to rival her mother in the gift of oratory. She is studying law in Xew York city, with a MISS EVELYN LEASE. view to a politico-legal career. She is tall, and has blue eyes, black hair and a fair skin. She has engaging manners and much personal magnetism. She made her debut as a public speaker at a meeting of the people's party in St. Louis eight years ago. She began with a child's recitation anil launched into a woman suffrage speech. In ringing tones she said: "You men must keep your promises and give us a suffrage plank. You all have been used to say: 'The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world,' but I say to you, gentlemen, if you do not keep your promise there will be no cradles to rock and no babies to putin them." The child visited the Hoys' Reform school at Topeka, and there addressed the 200 youths in the institution. She spoke with a maternal air. and the bad youngsters gave her most respectful attention. Miss Lease, though a girl of gentle manners, has strong convictions. She is a vegetarian. She does not eat meat or eggs nor drink milk. Her voice is powerful in declamation and sweet in song. She has written several songs that have been set to music by Miss Jessie L. Clark, the director of music in the public schools of St. Louis. She and her younger sister Grace, have paraphrased some of Dickens' Christ mas tales, dramatized and staged them in their old home in Wichita, Kan. Miss Lease will doubtless swell the number of young girls from "out of the west" who will achieve distinction in New York, which city her mother has re cently chosen as her home.

Simple Means hy Which They t an lie Kept from Cutting OIY Pinnts .1 ust Above the ixromid. Most vegetable growers and also those who raise flowers are often great ly annoyed by the cutworm at trans planting' time. An entire garden set with young- plants may be practically devastated in a few nights by this worm. Being a hidden enemy, it is all the more difficult to control. I have found the device shown at a in the illustration very successful in keeping cutworms from injuring my gardeu. The pest cuts off the young plants just above the ground during the night. To prevent this, take any kind of paper, preferably a stiff wrap ping paper used at grocery stores, cut a strip about three inches wide and as <JO| HOW TO PROTECT PLANTS. long as is required to wrap two or three imes around the stem of the plant, leav ing enough space for development. Make the hole in the ground, putin the plant and then enough soil to cover the fibrous roots. Wrap the paper around the stem and fill in with soil both inside and out, so that one-half the paper will be below the surface and half above, as shown in the illustra tion. The plant will then not be in jured by the cutworm. I have treated cabbage and tomato plants in this way and have not lost one. I do not know how successful this would be in the market garden, but in my own private plot it has wflrked to perfection. I have been informed that by plant ing a few castor beans here and there in the garden the cutworms will be de stroyed. A lady friend planted a few of these on the south side of her pansy bed as a protection from the sun, and she found that she had accomplished more than she had intended, for in the morn ing when she went to look at her flowers she found numbers of cutworms dead on the top of the ground. It is thought that the worms eat the roots of the cas tor bean and find them fatal. The great objection to this plan is that the bean grows so rank and casts so much shade that it is injurious to other plants. —Orange Judd Farmer. SELLING TO ADVANTAGE. No Farmer \YL»o In Not n Good Mar ketman Can Expect to He En tirely Suc«?e»Mful* A farmer must be a skillful producer of crops, but this is only one-half of success. lie must also be a good mar ket man or his business will not pros per. There is a great difference in men in this particular; some are good business men, others are not, and farming just in proportion as they fail in the latter, fail to make a full success of the business of placing their crops on the market to best advantage. A crop well grown is only half way to market, and some of our best farmers fail to make a financial success be cause they do not possess abilities in the line of selling their crops. A good marketman needs to be a genial, candid, clever sort of a man, but shrewd and full of character and pur pose as well, lie needs considerable grit and must not be easily discour aged. Just because the first man who is asked to buy refuses or else offers a price below actual market valuation, the marketman should not allow him self to be seized with an panic and of fer his load for less than it should bring, lie must be a man who knows human nature, understands men and can meet them and work out his own part well. Cutting under in price should be avoided, as after a price has been cut it becomes a precedent for future sales and it is difficult to raise it aglin upon the old basis of trade. A good marketman is born, not made, to a great extent. Yet any man can improve by care and observation. It is certainly of the highest impor tance that crops should be well sold as well as well grown.—National Rural. S<tunl>s Always Sell Well. Some people wonder why mere squabs are not raised for market, and say that when pigeons are so very prolific there should be no reason for the squabs selling at from 25 cents to 50 cents each, even in winter. The rea son why more squabs are not produced is doubtless due to the fact that thr> men that attempt to raise pigeons do not confine them in covered yxirds, that is, yards with wire sides and tops. The result is that all kinds of enemies prey on the pigeons, and the constant loss from this is large and discouraging. If doves are to be kept for the squabs they produce it is evident that the work, to be successful, must fce sci entifically carried on.—Farmers' Re view.
